Sports Betting

With Tom Terrific Brady out of the mix this weekend and his czar coach Bill Bellichick watching from his living room, who will step up and make a name for himself this weekend.
As we glance through the four remaining teams rosters and look at some of the impact positions and who are playing there, chances are unless your team is one of the four remaining, you are not too familiar with these guys.
Jake Delhomme is the quarterback for the Carolina Panthers and is in his seventh year in the NFL and was not even drafted by a team when he left Louisiana-Lafayette. Delhomme is an adequate regular-season performer with a nose for the playoffs.
He's 5-1 in six postseason starts, the sole loss coming against Brady in the Super Bowl, and his quarterback rating is a revealing 24 points better in the playoffs. He may need every one of them, though, after losing tailback DeShaun Foster to a broken ankle suffered in Sunday's road win over the Chicago Bears.

If Seattle is able to shutdown superstar Steve Smith, then the Panthers will look to another undrafted player in runningback Nick Goings. Goings begun his college career at Ohio State and then transferred to Pittsburgh. Last year he began the season as the 5th string back and now is just one game away from the dance.
In Seattle the talk always centers around all-world back Shaun Alexander and the great Seahawks offensive line. Lost is all the accolades being shelled out is quarterback Matt Hasselback, who last week took Seattle on his back and his outstanding performance, has them in the championship game this week.
In Pittsburgh the buzz is directed towards the “Bus� Jerrome Bettis, but leave it up to second year quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to save Bettis’s hide last week, with that game saving tackle on Indy’s Nick Harper. If Big Ben goes down, the Steelers are toast and their feature back is now Willie Parker, another non drafted player, who brings speed to the table.
In Denver the focus of the attention seems to be heaped on coach Mike Shanahan and the offensive line of the Broncos. Most folks just seem to be waiting for Jake the Snake Plummer to fail and maybe they and the rest of the NFL should accept that this guy can play the game. While he certainly wasn’t outstanding last Saturday night against the Patriots, he did manage the game far better then superstar Tom Brady.
It has been a wild and wacky NFL season and don’t be surprised if a couple of lesser known players, play pivotal roles this Sunday.
We like Carolina to upset Seattle. We like Denver to cover vs. Pittsburgh. Nasty home field advantage there and possible letdown spot for the Steelers!
